I love it! It's simple without being simplistic, it's tasteful and the idea of people holding hands in support is unique to our vision. Good work!

My version. Probably not exactly what you were picturing but i think the brightness and simplicity adds.<br />
<br />
Thoughts?

The empathy system as you describe it is built in to our DNA for the most part. There are aberrations of course. Fear of punishment is not the best way to help behavior. This is the province of<br />
religious authoritarianism and ultimately will fail. There are no normal social pressures, only different ones administered by various social agendas.

That would show the general public that those who think like that are totally delusional.<br />
People really don't understand what atheism is. If they realize that<br />
atheists are humanists or humanitarians, this changes their picture.<br />
Right now, they think atheists are Josef Stalin (who was not a real atheist). I don't think<br />
Ayn Rand was a legitimate atheist either. (She was a cultist and not a freethinker.)<br />
<br />
Atheism by definition conjures a negative image by the use of the term non-believer.<br />

I like freethinker better because it has a positive connotation. (If connotation is the right word). As freethinkers, we have to get beyond the provocation and confrontation<br />
to help people understand that we care about humanity, the environment, making the<br />
world a better place by freeing ourselves from the shackles of dogma and moribund<br />
institutions. We can't just be the bad little kids flipping the bird to the authoritarian<br />
parents. Freedom from religion is a positive agenda. I like this. It keeps it from…tag:www.thinkatheist.com,2010-05-11:1982180:Comment:2737302010-05-11T20:12:34.963ZFrank Hamiltonhttp://www.thinkatheist.com/profile/FrankHamilton
I like this. It keeps it from mentioning a god and gives Think Atheist a good image publicly.<br />
<br />
Always, the danger is being too provocative and then the message becomes obscured by<br />
reactionary anger.<br />
<br />
But Good Deeds Make Sense-Think Atheist is acceptable to those who would disagree with it<br />
and bring the point across.<br />
<br />
Good work, Michel
